Autocar writers' 2021 motoring highlights
for a pootle around east London – late at night, when all the senses are heightened – on the Friday before we headed up to Anglesey for this year’s big Britain’s Best Driver’s Car showdown .
All told, the SF90 Stradale’s electric running is an unexpectedly effective bit of theatre , although it doesn’t last especially long. I thought I had judged things well, with just enough charge to get home and parked up without making a ripple; but 50 yards from my front door, the battery ran dry and minutes before midnight the V8 detonated in thumping cold-start mode, with all the exhaust valves open. Part of me thinks the car did it deliberately.
We at Autocar are lucky enough to sample the most enticing and impressive new cars around, but the 14 seconds of runtime I coaxed out of that motor shaded even the most scintillating drives I’ve had.
